This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for April 2011.
The tide seems to be turning. We are finding out that sometimes in order to get a web series captioned, all you have to do is ask. Starting with this issue, every issue will carry a master list of captioned web series at the bottom. While the list is growing, it is just a tiny segment of the huge number of web series out there.
New Beneficiary on Caption Action 2
Recently Caption Action 2 changed the beneficiary on its Facebook cause. The new beneficiary is the National Association of the Deaf. Why the NAD? The NAD was the lead organization in the Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology (COAT) that worked to get the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act passed.

Caption Action 2: March 2011 Newsletter
This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for March 2011.
Two New Captioned Web Series
We like to start off with good news, so here is some: two new web series are captioned! The first one is The Vamps Next Door, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcrmXgWzUx0, about a family of vampires. What is interesting about this web series, is that the producers are very interested in giving actors with disabilities opportunities! Not only does this web series include a deaf character (Dewey, played by Antionette Abbamonte), they plan to have a disabled character in every episode. There's just one problem; they do not have the funding to produce more episodes. Keep an eye on their website at http://www.thevampsnextdoor.com/. They hope to add a PayPal button or some other means for donations to be made to keep the web series going.

Caption Action 2: February 2011 Newsletter
This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for February 2011.
It Starts with Students
As web series grow in popularity and are increasingly becoming the face of television online, colleges are teaching students how to create web series. After reading this article in The Seattle Times, Caption Action 2 contacted the professor who was interviewed, Ross Brown. Professor Brown teaches about web series at Chapman University in California. In addition, he is also the author of the book "Byte-Sized Television: Create Your Own TV Series for the Internet."
